Black & White Maps

  • Photographer
    Timo Lieber, United Kingdom

The photographs are part of an aerial image series exploring
Iceland’s hidden gems - glacial rivers flowing out of some of
Europe’s largest glaciers. The sharp contrasts between the water
and dark volcanic riverbeds, shown here in black and white, create
abstract, mysterious and breath-taking patterns.

Timo Lieber is a London-based photographer, best known for his distinctive take on our world from above. He gets inspired by the environment and the interplay of elements that form some of nature's most incredible shapes and patterns.

While many of Timo's earlier works show the beauty of vast, untouched landscapes, his current work explores the human interaction with nature and the complexity of its impact. Through his photographs, Timo attempts to look beyond the obvious and invites the viewer to embark on a visual journey together.

Timo's photographs have been published by The Guardian, The Washington Post, CNN, BBC, NASA and New Scientist, among many others. Timo is the 2013 winner of the International Pano Awards (Australia) and has received numerous further awards, including PDN Photo Annual (US), Int. Photography Awards (US), National Geographic (US), PX3 Prix de la Photographie (France), Sony World Photography Awards (UK) and Global Arctic Awards (Russia). His latest solo show, THAW, was on display at Bonhams, London, in early 2017.
